KGS Go Server

KGS Go Server

The KGS Go Server, known until 2006 as the Kiseido Go Server [http://www.britgo.org/gopcres/play.html Internet Go] from the British Go Association ] , is a game server first developed in 1999 and firmly established in 2000 for people to play Go. The system was developed by William M. Shubert and its code is now written entirely in Java. It is one of the largest Go servers in the world, frequently hosting over 1500 people at a time on any given day. A list of the top 100 players (sorted by KGS calculated rank) [ [http://www.gokgs.com/help/rmath.html Details of the KGS Rank System] from KGS ] is regularly updated and maintained [ [http://www.gokgs.com/top100.jsp Top 100 KGS Players] from KGS]

International tournament games and national championship games are relayed on this server. Monthly Computer Go tournaments are held in the Computer Go room on KGS. [ [http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/index.html Computer Go Tournaments on KGS] from Nick Wedd's tournament site ]

The KGS Go Server is distinguished by a strong sense of community, particularly that of its Kibitz culture. The KGS server is commonly noted for its kibitz in high Dan level games which includes off topic discussions, this is however somewhat against the rules and usually asking for Game Comments Only helps, especially if an admin is requesting it.
